BUNNY HOP EASTER EGG CARTON ALBUM | with Traci

Hi everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a new shaped mini album I made with the adorable Bunny Hop Collection and the Egg Carton cutting file. It's such a cute keepsake for your Easter photos and a great gift idea for someone special. Wouldn't this be a fun surprise tucked in an Easter basket?! 🐰🩷🧺

To make this, I started with the album's covers. I used my Silhouette machine to size the file to 6.75" x 4.75". I cut the shapes out of white acrylic, but you could also make them out of card stock or chipboard instead. Then, I covered the acrylic with pistachio Petite Prints in dot & stripe, plaid & polka dot, and solid. 

Next, I cut the eggs out of colorful 6x6 prints and added the bunny and chick mini icon stickers, flower die cuts from the Bits & Pieces, and the title from the Chit Chat. I 🩷 the bunny in her pink dress and bow!

On the inside, I cut 6 card stock pages to 6.5" x 3.5", giving me 12 total scrapbook pages to decorate. I covered each one in 12x12 and 6x6 pattern papers. Above, I created a fold-out page for extra photo space. On the front, I added the 3x4 card from the Chickadees print and inside ... more die cut pieces, the sun mini icon sticker, space for 2 photos, AND a print filled with bunny shaped Easter peeps!! 

This next page is covered in the 6x6 paper titled Bunny Hop. It's one of my favorites with its sweet images of chocolate bunnies, chicks, flowers, carrot cars, houses, and Easter baskets. The die cut is from the Chit Chat.

Here's another fold-out page. I covered the front in the pretty pattern paper titled May Flowers, then added die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat. And, inside the fold out ... 


 ... a sunny yellow plaid print called Spot of Spring, more Odds & Ends die cuts, and space for 2 photos.

Time for a pocket page! I embellished the front with the This & That scalloped border sticker and a pretty bouquet of flowers from the Bit & Pieces. I added some Hello Spring enamel shape sprinkles on top for a little shine, then added a few 3x4 cards for journaling / photo mats.

This cheerful paper collection is perfect for highlighting pictures of family, friends, Easter baskets, coloring eggs, a church event, Sunday brunch, holiday decorations, an egg hunt, and photos with the Easter Bunny.

Speaking of the Easter Bunny, this Hippity Hoppity paper above is great! Their little faces are so funny!

In this photo, I added the pink side of the 12x12 May Flowers paper, the green Spring Sprouts paper, and the colorful floral side of the same May Flowers pattern, but ... in the 6x6 size! I love every layer.

I hope the Bunny Hop Collection and my fun mini album give you lots of happy holiday vibes! Easter is just around the corner (April 20th) and this project would be wonderful tucked inside a gift basket, or ... displayed in your home filled with memories. Happy crafting! 😊

OVER THE RAINBOW MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hey guys! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a really sweet scrapbook that I made with the colorful and, oh so happy ... Over the Rainbow Collection! I designed the mini album in a circle shape with a flower in the center and little cut-out petals, so ... lots of cute pattern papers could show through. What a fun project for spring!

I created this with my new white Acrylic Circle Petal Album, but you could replicate the album with white cardstock or chipboard. The center of the cover is solid so I added the Spring Garden print, the Gnome Sweet Gnome paper, and the scalloped sticker from the This & That sheet. How adorable is that little cloud?! 

On the back, you can really see the album's shape and the cutouts. I added the rainbow from the Odds & Ends, which fit perfectly in the circle. Then, I chose the Happy die cut from the Chit Chat and the Family sticker from the This & That.

Inside, I added white card stock pages. Since this first page shows through the front cover, I created another flower using circle punches for the petals, lots of pretty 6x6 prints, and white paper for the center photo mat.

Next, I covered the rest of the pages in 12x12 and 6x6 patterned papers. On the page above, I added the rainbow scallop border sticker (This & That), a rainbow die cut (Odds & Ends), and 2 sweet little clouds from the puffy stickers. They're so cute!

Then, I created a flippie with a 3x4 card from the 12x12 Ladybug Picnic print. I added the Memories sticker on the front and the fun 6x6 Sprinkles of Color paper inside. What a pretty spot for 2 of your favorite photos.

I love adding pockets to my albums, so I cut one of the circle pages in half to create this one. I added the scalloped border sticker to the top edge, the Memories and ladybug die cuts, and a few puffy hearts.

Inside the pocket, I tucked in a journaling card from the 12x12 Mini Mushrooms print and some adorable tags from the 12x12 Just For You paper. You could use the back side of these for journaling or extra photos.

Here's a close-up of another fun page. I added the fence die cut from the Odds & Ends, then layered some flower shape sprinkles on top. I love the hints of shine the enamel shapes add throughout the album.

I had so much fun making this sweet little scrapbook and I love the Over the Rainbow Collection! With its bright happy colors and super cute images ... this collection is sure to brighten your day. 

If you'd like to recreate this scrapbook, the acrylic album and instructions are  available in my shop today. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a great day! 😊

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP WINTER WONDERLAND PAGES | with Traci

Hey scrappers! Traci here and today, I'm sharing the final post of my Build a Snowman Mini Album. I'll be sharing my favorite pages, some of the fun elements I created, and recapping all the goodies that come with Doodlebug's new Mini Albums. With one more month of winter, I hope this project gives you a little inspiration for saving this season's memories.  

Build A Snowman Winter Scrapbook Album with a snow scene, snowmen, a reindeer, a cabin, and a big polka dot bow

I created this scrapbook with the 6x8 Mini Album in swimming pool and the super cute Winter Wonderland Collection. For all the details on how I designed the cover, click Build A Snowman Album Part 1

Doodlebug's Mini Albums include so many great features and this first page is one of them. It's 1 of 5 chipboard tabbed dividers and I added pretty patterned papers and 2 flippies to it. These folding cards were made with 3x4 cards and have space inside for 4 photos.

Another great detail of the Mini Album is that it comes with 4 pocket pages. Some are positioned along the bottom and others along the side. I like to add cards to mine that can be used as photo mats or for journaling, and ... tuck all my special little memorabilia inside.

The album also has 4 colorful card stock pages like the pistachio polka one above. I folded mine in half to create a fold-out page. Then, I added some cute die cuts and photo mats. For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 2

I love making mini albums but their smaller size can limit how many pictures and embellishments can be added. So, I incorporate layers that add as much space as possible. In the photo above, I created a fold-out page AND a little deer flippie on the front. Now, this gives you room for 4 pics!

Here is one of the pockets that are along the side of the page. I like that Doodlebug mixed them up a bit. For this one, I covered it with pretty papers and added a tri-fold pull-out card that's loaded with photo mats and cute die cuts.

The album also comes with 10 assorted clear page protectors. Above is one of them and it's divided into two 4x6 inch spaces. I added some colorful prints, enamel shape sprinkles, die-cuts, and ... another flippie! For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 3.

This layout has a bunch of interactive goodies. I created a fold-out page (seen on the left) for a large photo on the front and back. Then, I added some acetate snowflakes and few sparkling mini jewels.  

On the right, I created a pocket and tucked more journaling cards inside. Then, I made the front of the pocket a flippie and added the This & That scalloped sticker on top.

Open that flippie, and there's a 2nd pocket inside with two little 3x3 inch square cards. I love the interaction with scrapbook pages. What a fun surprise to open each layer and find sweet photos and handwritten notes.

Here's another one of the colored cardstock pages that are included in the album. I decorated with this one with a few winter die cuts and added another flippie that I made with a 3x4 card. For details on the last 3 photos and to see more pages, click Build A Snowman Album Part 4.  

My Build a Snowman Winter Album is complete! I hope I was able to give you some fun layout ideas and you're excited to create your own scrapbook with Doodlebug's 6x8 inch Mini Album. Have a great day! 😊

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS PART 4 WINTER WONDERLAND PAGES | with Traci

Hi ladies! Traci here and today, I'm sharing the last five pages of my Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook. (If you missed my other posts about this album, be sure to check them out here, here, and here.) I created this project with a 6x8 inch Mini Album in swimming pool and the super cute Winter Wonderland Collection.


This first layout has lots of fun goodies. I covered the page in the Snow Much Fun snowflake print and added a fold-out (seen on the left) using the Nightfall paper. The fold-out has a large photo mat on the front, one on the back, acetate snowflakes from the Odds & Ends, and few sparkling mini jewels.


On the right, I created a little pocket out of white card stock. I added the scalloped "snow much fun" sticker from the This & That sheet to the front and some 3x4 cards from the Cozy Cardigan paper inside. These can be used as photo mats or for journaling.


But wait, there's more! I also made the front of the pocket a flippie and added a second pocket inside! I tucked 2 little 3x3 inch square cards inside that are from Doodlebug's Cards and Envelopes collection.


I covered this page with the Nightfall print, added a photo mat, and decorated with cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat.


On this layout, I added the Sweater Weather paper as the base and created two mats using the Nightfall and Snowflowers prints. The cute bunny rabbit and pink tree die cuts are from the Odds & Ends.


This pistachio polka dot is 1 of the 4 colored cardstock pages that come in the album. I added the strip of flowered paper, a cute flippie I made with a 3x4 card, and a photo mat. Then, I decorated with a few Odds & Ends die cuts and the "family" sticker from the This & That.


On the backside of that page, I added white cardstock, 2 photo mats made from the Just Chillin' stripe print, some die cuts, and the "Hurray for snow" sticker from the This & That.

I hope these layouts give you some fun winter themed ideas and you're inspired to create your own scrapbook with Doodlebug's 6x8 inch Mini Album. Until next time, happy scrappin'! 😊

6 x 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 2- WINTER WONDERLAND ALBUM | with Traci

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I'm back to share some of the fun inside pages of my Build a Snowman Winter Scrapbook. (If you missed my cover post, you can see it here.) I designed this with one of the 6x8 Mini Albums in swimming pool and the adorable Winter Wonderland Collection. 

This is the first page and it's one of five chipboard tabbed dividers included in the album. I covered it in the pretty purple 12x12 Frosted Forest print and added a strip of the Cozy Cardigan plaid paper on top. 

Next, I created two flippies out of white cardstock and 3x4 cards from the other side of the Cozy Cardigan print. I love that these can hold 4 photos on this one mini album page!

Here are pages 2 and 3. These winter colors, patterned papers, and sweet little characters are the cutest.

For page 2, I created a fold-out element on the backside of the tabbed divider. I covered the front of the flap in the floral Nightfall paper and added the polar bear die cut from the Odd & Ends. Then, I created another fun flippie with the 3x4 Hello card and added that along the edge.

Inside the flap, I used the Snow Wonder snowflake paper, a pretty pink die cut from the Odds & Ends, and adhered the 3x4 Let It Snow card to the backside of the Hello card flippie.

On the right, I added the striped Just Chillin' paper, then created a photo mat out of the blue side of the Nightfall print. I finished the page with the adorable moose die cut. ... I just love her sassy side grin. :)

Page 3 is one of four pocket pages that come in the album ready to embellish. I covered the front with the cute snowmen print (Just Chillin') and added the Baby It's Cold Outside sticker from the This & That sheet.

Inside the pocket, I added a few photo mats but you could also save journaling cards and memorabilia here. Add tickets, postcards, notes, invitations, a small map, a recipe, greeting cards, <!--[if gte mso 9]> an itinerary, a brochure, etc.

Here is page 4. It's a great layout for one fabulous photo. I used the Yeti for Winter paper in the background and layered a strip of the Snow Wonder snowflakes on top. I made 2 photo mats from the Frosted Forest print and embellished with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat. 

The album includes 10 assorted clear page protectors and above is one divided into four 3x4 spaces. I added two cute cards from the Cozy Cardigan print and two mats for photos.

I think page 6 may be filled with every one of the adorable winter animals in this collection! That cute background paper is called Snow Cozy. I added 2 photo mats on top and a happy Yeti die cut.

Above is 1 of 4 colorful card stock pages that also come in the album. I folded it in half to create an interactive fold-out page and added some cute Odds & Ends, making sure to leave room for a photo. 

Flip that up and there are 3 more photo mats inside made from the polka dot paper called Hit The Slopes and white cardstock. 

I hope I've given you a few fun ideas on how to decorate these wonderful 6x8 Mini Albums. Next time, I'll show you more pages from this winter scrapbook. Until then, happy crafting!
